What a glorious weekend it is when you can get rides in on both days! 
I decided to sleep in and ride later in the day on Sunday.  That way the roads would have time to dry out and my gear would have a little extra time to dry out from the ride on Saturday morning.  As it turns out waiting to ride was a great decision, the two slices of pizza that I ate about 35 minutes before leaving for the ride wasn't.
The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, not too much wind, and dry roads.  After finishing my first 20 mile loop I decided to take advantage of the weather and go around a second time.  It was a great ride!  I got home, got off the bike, and as I "cooled down
my stomach started to cramp.   
My stomach continued to cramp and gurgle the rest of the day..... it sounded like something was trying to come up from the deep.  The only thing that I can figure is that the pizza was not a wise choice for a pre-ride meal.  Oh well, we all learn from our mistakes!

Pedal'n Arounds' wife, aka The Bike Widow was nice and had some T-shirts made up for him.  All three of the ones pictured are great, but I especially like this one:

I might have to steal this idea and make a T-shirt or two or three of my own.  Of course I will buy one from them first!

I came across this by way of gwadzilla.

Why must the same stuff travel the email circles over and over again. It is so simple to check something out before forwarding it out to everyone in your address book. Here's a prime example: The May 15th Don't Buy Gas Day. The Don't Buy Gas Day email has gone around in differing forms several times in the past years. Some may remember the Boycott Gas emails or the Boycotting the Large Gas Companies. Another common email hoax that has been seen repeatedly is the Microsoft and AOL scams that tell the recipeint of the email that if they forward the email to all of their friends they will be given money from AOL and Bill Gates. Come on, use some common sense people! Do you really think that by sending out spam you are going to get money from a big corporation.
One of my favorites is the threat from Dihydrogen Monoxide (DMHO). It was not so quite widely distributed as the Boycotting Gas emails, but none the less it was still passed around. It was said that Dihydrogen Monoxide was horrible, it's found in everything and was causing all sorts of deaths. It was attributed to causing accidents and death in the winter. It was involved in blizzards, typhoons, and hurricanes. Even worse, it can cause death if it is accidentaly inhaled! I recall some people, who and where they were will remain secret, were discussing this email in all seriousness that they really needed to be more vigilant about their potential exposure to this kill compound. The truth is that DMHO is water. Di (meaning two) - hydrogen and Mon (one) Oxide (aka Oxygen) being H2O. A quick search on google.com for "DMHO" or "Dihydrogen Monoxide" before sending out the threatening emails could have saved a lot of people some severe concern.

When a threatening email is received, whether it be warning of a computer virus that is going to blow up your computer or a $1000 check in your mail box. Go to google.com or snopes.com and do a seconds worth of research before clogging up everyones email boxes with a bunch of crap.

Oh and if you send the following link out to everyone in your address book within 5 minutes of reading this post I will be sure to give you a great big whopping transfer to your account of $0.00. That is only if you email your account number is that the transaction can be processed.
